THE  WORLD'S 

GREATEST  SHORT  STORIES 

Written  in  Munson  Shorthand 


ELIZABETH  VAN  SANT 

Author  of 
Manual  of  Munson  Shorthand 


A    SECOND    READER 


PUBLISHED  BY 

POWERS  &  LYONS 


FOREWORD 

A  reader  in  the  Munson  system  giving  matter  which  is  general  in 
its  nature  and  also  of  a  grade  slightly  more  difficult  than  that  found 
in  ordinary  business  correspondence  has  long  been  needed.  This 
volume  will  to  a  large  extent  supply  both  of  these  demands.  The 
matter  itself  is  interesting  and  will  serve  the  additional  purpose  of 
making  the  pupil  familiar  with  some  of  the  short  masterpieces  of 
literature.  For  the  convenience  of  teachers  the  selections  have  been 
made  from  one  volume  entitled  A  SELECTION  FROM  THE 
WORLD'S  GREATEST  SHORT  STORIES  and  have  been 
reproduced  in  Munson  Shorthand  by  special  permission  of  the  pub- 
lishers, A.  C.  McClurg  &  Co.,  and  of  Professor  Sherwin  Cody, 
the  editor.
